F
Lucy Grace can't show her face
     C
Down in the North End Road
          Dm
For in Belgravia
  Eb
Rumors have been whispered
                           C
And suggestions have been made
 F
Did you sell your frieds out
          C
When the heat got too intense?
    Dm
You say you like the danger
          Am
But it's only a pretense
    Eb
You say you need the money
        Gm
When everybody knows you can always
                   Csus  C
Fall back on you inheritance

          Bb         C              F     Bb
Did you bruise your arms on those false alarms
          Bb          C            F       Bb
Did you bruise your pride on his smile so wide?
     Bb       C         F       Dm
Only fingertips from forbidden bliss
          Bb                        C      F
Did you bruise your lips in this basement kiss?

 F
Who's that sneaking 'round the door?
      C
You can't come here no more
              Dm
Can't you go home again?
     Eb
She used to sit alone for hours
                                    C
Spend her evening watering dried flowers

 F
When her mother came to stay
       C
And finally went to bed
 Dm
Lucy Grace was in the frontroom
  Am
Shooting through your
     Eb
She tried to take your breath away
Gm                             C
And give you something else instead

          Bb         C              F     Bb
Did you bruise your arms on those false alarms
          Bb          C            F       Bb
Did you bruise your pride on his smile so wide?
     Bb       C         F       Dm
Only fingertips from forbidden bliss
          Bb                        C      F
Did you bruise your lips in this basement kiss?

      Bb
Next year she'll serve her function
          C
In that Audrey Hepburn hat
    Bb
It still won't suit her much
                F
But she'll get over that
           Bb
She'll be pale and feign indifference
             C
As they're handing out the prizes
           Bb
Spilling Daddy's pearls of wisdom
                           C
And her ugly sister's tranquilisers

          Bb      C           F        Bb
Why were you so tardy putting up your guard?
          Bb       C             F      Bb
When you hurt so easily and you try so hard
          Bb         C              F     Bb
Did you bruise your arms on these false alarms
          Bb          C            F       Bb
Did you bruise your pride on his smile so snide?
     Bb       C         F       Dm
Only fingertips from forbidden bliss
          Bb                        C      F
Did you bruise your lips in this basement kiss?
